hi nimish, we haven't run SL, but we have run into some strange problems with linux operating systems that are not supported by xilinx. for instance, fft's that are longer than 8K points don't work correctly on some non-supported operating systems. and you don't get an error message during compilation - you just see flaky results from your fft. when we contacted xilinx about it, they said they wouldn't research our problem unless we used a supported operating system. when we switched to RHEL5, the problem went away.
